In this case stands for Backstitch & Beading. I detest backstitching. It is one of the reasons that I have a tendency to avoid most patterns out of Eastern Europe. It isn’t that many are interesting or lovely. It is that all of the details really come from outlining rather than purely from color or shading. Unfortunately, many of the “fancy lady” type of patterns also have this nasty tendency to need backstitching. Add in the necessity of then adding 220-whatever number of beads and the finishing feels like it takes as long as the stitching. 
this is about where I left her in August of 2022. Effectively the stitching was complete. I went ahead and added the largest beads (mostly because I could) then went to backstitching). This is how far I got by the end of the day –
Then I just need to finish backstitching the last nine butterflies, add the two largest numbers of beads (one has 36 & the other ~130) and call it done.
I also managed another 490 stitches on my secondary project. And now the hot tub is calling me…..
